I understand but perhaps they should just have "available soon" with a link that they are negoiating for this area.

It always looks unpreofessional to have an estimated date and then just not deliver with no details.

I don't know, I think I would much rather have an "Estimated" date than just coming soon. I have seen websites that said "Coming Soon" for months and months and months, but when you have an Estimated date you can at lease guess that they are working on it.

Also, any time I see the word "Estimated" I know that it is not set in stone, and might change, otherwise they would say "WILL be available in..."

Vonage has virtual numbers, Packet 8 has more city exchanges. It'll be interesting to see which company eliminates their disadvantage. Personally, I want phone numbers in 3 different cities. Packet 8 has the cities but no virtual numbers. Vonage has the virtual numbers but not the cities.

1. Call quality is about the same. P8 might be just a tad bit better due to some echoing on my Vonage line. P8 never echos. I call Calif. a lot and somebody mentioned that perhaps that is why P8 works better for me since their servers are located in Calif.

I think it's still a toss up at this point. Both Vonage and P8 has positives and negatives. Vonage is working hard at promoting themselves while I see P8 doing virtually nothing at all. Search Google for "ip telephony" and you'll see that Vonage is a "sponsored link". Search for P8 on the web and you come up with almost nothing except for their web page.

Vonage is in the news. They have a "buzz" right now and are mentioned in lots of media stories. P8 seems to be in the shadows in terms of media coverage.

Personally, I think Vonage has the advantage long term and has a great management team in place. P8 seems to be trying hard on the technical side but lacks the sales and advertising skills to beat Vonage.
